It’s still nowhere near as secure and convenient as using an appropriate tool. You will either have one that is easy to decipher and remember or one that is hard to decipher and remember. And you have to do it every time but at that point you might aswell just remember one password/passphrase and use it for your password manager, defeating the whole point.

Also bare in mind convenience is important in security, if a measure is very inconvenient you will eventually just bypass it on your own cause you can’t be arsed.

Absolutely not. You should always use 2FA. Most decent password managers even make it easy for you.

While cracking a strong password is nigh impossible rn they are still vulnerable to data breaches and pass-the-hash attacks.

I mean I used to say the same but then I did after doing more research in mozilla’s privacy things. Also Ladybird is coming at some point and frankly can’t wait for that

I disagree. Password managers are still target of threat actors, a juicy one at that, but it’s not too often you hear of breaches of good password managers. Chances are the people behind the good password managers are better at security than 99% of users (including more technical ones). Even after a breach exporting all the passwords and moving them to another service, and changing all your passwords again with more secure ones is trivially easy.

If everyone used them sure there’d be more pressure on said password managers but hackers will find it a lot more difficult to hack anything in general and it will still not be worthwhile to hack average users who use a password manager.

Unless the website is handled by complete morons it stores credentials in an hashed format. Usually to crack this we’d use rainbow tables or wordlists of known passwords, and essentially we use every word to generate the hash until it matches.

If your password is strong and hasn’t been compromised (check regularly on haveibeenpwned) it will likely not be in any wordlists and it also won’t be easy to crack. Now, password managers can generate the best passwords because they’re completely random and very long by default so to crack them you’d have to try every possible character combination, this takes time, and specifically a time so long that statistically the andromeda galaxy and milky way will merge into one before the password is cracked (at least until quantum computers become a thing, then it’s mere minutes).

2FA helps because even if they crack the password they then need the 2FA code, which you can’t really guess or brute force and is seen on a third party app you don’t control (unless you use sms, they can spoof SIMs ro view the sms you receive and therefore degeat 2FA). It also doubles as something that alerts you that someone is trying to access your account.

I mean, using password managers is both more convenient and more secure than 99% of things most user do to handle passwords so idk.

And some like Proton Pass also double as 2FA apps and make that trivially easy too by autofilling everything with a click

No. Anyone near you or with access to your place can see it. And most people know of the tricks.

Also you can’t encrypt it and most of all you can’t really generate as strong passwords as those generated by password managers, meaning I don’t even need the paper to try and crack your password

just don’t use technical drawings buildings were meant to be built not drawn, simple as.

printing is bad regardless of OS. Learn to draw and type very well and you will never need a printer, also curse everyone that forces you to use printers they should be shunned from society. We will have full digitalisation by bullying if necessary

sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda of course

Yeah but how can you download without internet

Well I would say for a start that while you say you’re ugly someone will think you’re pretty. The thing is one of those people should be you. Anyways, I wouldn’t call it inceldom, if anything just a mild lack of self-esteem, that’s fixable, how depends on you tbh, I personally recommend going to the gym because it worked for me, even without much gains it helps a lot with confidence, especially if you compare yourseld only with your past self and not others. Of course it may or may not work for you. Once you figure out why you feel ugly and work through it, giving yourself time to adjust and not being too harsh on yourself while trying to still maintain some discipline, you will probably realize you aren’t as ugly as you think you are and maybe one day find someone you like. Or not, well at least not for a while, but at least you’ll be happy even if single

I think it’s much simpler: people don’t know what they’re doing, while CEOs want to make more money so don’t do appropriate (expensive) practices.

duh, still a useful statistic IMO

I’d say now’s the time, by now I mean as soon as it’s appropriate.

I was once asked if I could crack a password of a windows PC in an office cause the guy who used to work there no longer remembers it and they wanted to reuse the old PC. I asked if they need to recover any data, if they used any software that would be incompatible with Linux (not like this but directly mentioning software and asked for a list of stuff they use) and then told them it would simply be easier to install Linux on the thing, not only it’s easier but since it’s an old machine running windows 7 it’s also more secure and the computer will perform well.

During the installation we found out that the computer is glorified junk, took ages to even attempt to format the disk to ext4. Still got to install Linux Mint on another one of their computers tho, big success.

note if you sum up the linux distros here (excluding ChromeOS) you get 58,4% for personal use and 54,54% for professional use (of course keep in mind that there’s some godless bastards who dual boot 2 linux distros that could skew these statistics).

Also note how that implies Linux is the most popular OS for professional use.

Anyways, I wish these stats wouldn’t split Linux into distros, at least not by default. Linux distros are mostly the same and you’re still using (GNU*/)Linux splitting it makes it seem less popular tan it actually is.

*unless you’re using something like Alpine ig

I’d honestly have proposed (if they don’t need programs that only run on windows) “we could put linux on it and that should fix these issues” and put Linux Mint or Fedora on it (better if you choose not them unless they really want to deal with all the choices, most likely they won’t wnt to tho) and just tell them the basics of how to install software and stuff.

get them addicted to BattleBits Remastered, runs smoothly on Linux and is fun as shit.
